Abstract:
Objective As economy in China growing fast, it will in turn bring changes on the status of genitourinary cancer inpatients. Methods A survey has been made of urological inpatients from January 1951 to December 2000 in the Institute of Urology of Peking University to find the changing status of genitourinary cancer in the recent 50 years. Results From January 1951 to December 2000, there were 28 521 urological inpatients. The cancer patient in the first and second 25 years constituted 19.5% and 28.2% respectively. Since 1970s renal cancer and prostate cancer increased dramatically from 10.4% to 28.7% and 3.3% to 13.4% respectively. Conclusions The introduction of new diagnostic techniques, the expansion of the aged population and a high fat diet are considered to be responsible for this change.
